The Indian Act Amendment and Replacement Act received Royal Assent in December 2014. The Act requires the Minister of Indigenous Services to report annually, within the first 10 sitting days of the House of Commons in every calendar year, on the work undertaken in collaboration with First Nations and other interested parties to develop new legislation to replace the Indian Act. 

The Government of Canada remains focused on implementing its commitments as it walks the shared path of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. This includes continuing to shift its policies to recognize the inherent rights of self-government and self-determination of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. Canada’s commitment to recognizing and implementing Indigenous rights, and the work accomplished to date, is accelerating the ongoing affirmation of jurisdiction by First Nations and their movement out from under the Indian Act.
